Hello Softies (and others) !

Do you know how to script a “Pick Edge Session” to request one or more edges selection from the user ?

Like this in softimage SDK doc :
http://docs.autodesk.com/SI/2015/ENU/Softimage-Developer-Help//index.html# [docs.autodesk.com]!/url=./si_cmds/PickElement.html

Thanks.

here's a basic python snippet that should get you started…

import toolutils
scene_viewer = toolutils.sceneViewer()

scene_viewer.setPickGeometryType(hou.geometryType.Edges)
sel = scene_viewer.selectGeometry( prompt = “pick something” , use_existing_selection=False )
# sel.whatever; ie, sel contains whatever you selected
print sel.selectionStrings()

YESS !!
And that's a really good start !

Thank you.
